JL Audio 10w3v3 with a matching 500w amp, quality painted box, & professional install (only $75). they are tuning the HK factory system slightly and install a manual adjustment knob in my center console b/c i didn't want them to mess with the UI as i have the P2 package. it's ~$1,200 all in. i'll post pics and let you know how it sounds in a couple days. i think one speaker versus two is better b/c of the small trunk area.

any thoughts before i pull the trigger would be appreciated.

you know the saying that opinions are like...

not bad, but the amp is an over kill for that woofer.

As far as SQ subwoofers the Hertz line is good as well as Image Dynamics IDQ and IDMAX series, JL Audio 10w6v2 is a good sub, JBL WGTI, SSA Icon, and the FI Q are all very good subwoofers it all depends on what you want to spend, how much space you have, and what size amp you want to run.
